GPR84 is an orphan G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) activated by micromolar concentrations of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs). MCFAs that activate GPR84 are usually with carbon chain lengths of 9-14, which couples primarily to a pertussis toxin (PTX)-sensitive Gi/o pathway. The most potent agonists of GPR84 includes decanoic acid, undecanoic acid and lauric acid. GPR84 demonstrates an important role in inflammation, immunity, and cancer1-3.
GPR84 is predominantly expressed in immune system-related tissues and cells, such as bone marrow, spleen, lung, lymph nodes and brain microglia, T-cells, macrophages and glial cells. Its expression is also detected in adipocytes.
Studies have shown that GPR84 activation in murine macrophage-like cell line results in high levels of LPS-stimulated IL-12 p40 production. In addition, GPR84 knockout mice display increased Th2 cytokine production1-3.

Species reactivity key:
Anti-GPR84 (extracellular) Antibody (#AGR-052) is a highly specific antibody directed against an extracellular epitope of the human protein. The antibody can be used in western blot, immunohistochemistry, indirect flow cytometry, and live cell imaging applications. It has been designed to recognize GPR84 from human, mouse and rat samples.
Anti-GPR84 (extracellular)-PE Antibody (#AGR-052-PE) is directly conjugated to the Phycoerythrin (PE) fluorophore. This conjugated antibody has been developed to be used in immunofluorescent applications such as direct flow cytometry and live cell imaging.
